Tomorrow the board of public lands nnd buildings will probably resume Its In vestigations into the management of the Hastings nuylum for Incurable Insane. The export accountant who lias boon engaged - gaged to oxnmlno the accounts of the In stitution will , It 1 ? hoped bo ready to report. The board Is dovotini ? a great deal of time to the investigation and it is reasonable to aupposo the Inquiry has boon as searching as po iblo with Iho accused parties In undisturbed posses sion of all the books and papers and In charge of the asylum. The facts already developed concern ing which there is not a shadow of question establish the unfitness - ness of both Test n.nd Llvor- nghouso for their positions. Throwing out all ovldonco to which they have demurred - murrod or offered rebutting testimony the fact remains that they have dupli cated vouchers , wilfully deceived the board of public land * nnd buildings In regard to the financial condition of the asylum , paid exorbitant prices for goods on the last day of the quarter when they know that the name articles could bo purchased the day following for half the money , and have neglected their duties In very many ether Important particulars. Conceding , for argument's sake , that all charges of immorality , intentional Irregularities in financial trnimi'timiH , actual appropriation of funds to their own uses , cruelty to In mates and .other corrupt transactions are not proved , the fact remains that they are untrustworthy , inolllclontnnd incom petent. This is enough of itself to war rant on the part of Governor Thayer their summary discharge. The fact is , however , that almost every specification of the general charges have boon established beyond a reasonable doubt. The asylum management has boon shown to bo rotten to the core. The officers have boon clearly impeached as to personal character , business integ rity and executive ability. The sooner they are disposed of the better it will bo for the state , the republican party and the institution. IX THi ; SOIL. An eastern paper , noting the fact that the first bushel of now wheat brought into the eastern markets sold for ono dollar a bushel , remarks that it is quite probable that the European demand will bo strong enough to make nearly a dollar lar the ruling price on the western farm , in spite of the largo supply of from 525,000,000 to 575,000,000 bushola which isexpected. * It is estimated that Great Britain , Franco , Germany , Holland and Belgium , Italy , Spain and Portugal , will require above the homo supply about 400,000,000 bushels. Some 180,000.000 bushels or more must come from the United States , which will bo about the extent of our surplus. High prices may somewhat reduce consumption , but it is more prob able that the price of wheat will bo maintained at 31 to the farmer than lull materially below that prico. It is not difficult to realize what this will moan in added wealth to the great wheat producing section of the country. Hundreds of .millions of dollars are as sured to the western farmers within the ensuing year from this ono product , and if there bo ndded the value of ail ether products of the soil the total will mount up to figures great er than those which express the debt of- the nation. It is a mighty sum which the tillora of the soil bring annually to swell the wealth of the country , and .tho promise is that the contribution of this year will bo unprecedented. The day of the agri cultural producer , or at any rate of the American producer , is evidently at hand , and the most intelligent opinion ia that it will open a prolonged era of prosperity. The significant fact that the population of the world is growing much faster than the wheat producing area warrants the view that the time of low and unprofitable prices for breadstuffs has passed , and that the successful farmer will heroaflor obtain a fair reward for his labor. The realiza tion of tliis will moan an increased pros perity for all interests and material pro gress in every direction. Already the promise of abundant harvests is having a good olToot upon the business nnd the confidence of the country , foreshadowing a return of activity and enterprise along all linos. It is In the soil and in the in- dusjiry of those who cultivate' it that America still has the greatest resources of wealth and power. A FRVITLKSS CONTUOVBltSY. The question whether President Lin coln favored or was opposed to tha re- nomination in 1804 of vice-president Hatnllu cannot bo said to bo determined by the somewhat acrimonious contro versy that has boon carried on between Colonpl McClure of the Philadelphia 'limes and Mr. Nicolay , who was the private secretary of Mr. Lincoln. Opin ions differ , nnd are likely always to dif fer , as to who has the advantage in the discussion , except , perhaps , in the matter of invective , in which ros ( > oct the editoris easily ahead. The origin of the dis pute was a btatement of Colonel McClure that Mr , Lincoln , while feeling personally friendly to Mr. Ilaralin , did not think his nomination would bo good policy , and suggested to his intlmato political friends , of whom McClure was ono , that it would ba wiser for several cogent reasons to nominate u well-known southern man llko Andrew Johnson , Mr. Nicolay took iiwuo with this state ment , which wua in ilhvct conlllct with what ho had stated in his biography of Lincoln , and asserted that it was thu de sire of Lincoln that Hamliu should bo ronomlnatud. There can bo no question regarding the Intimate and confidential relations that ox is ted between President Lincoln and Colonel McClure , at that time a loading republican of Pennsylva nia , and his statem Jilts must bo regarded as circumstantial evidence of the strong est character , Mr. Nicolay , on the other hand , produces what ho alleges to bo written ovldonco In support of his Btato- mont that Mr. Lincoln was not opposed to the ronomlnatlon of Hamlin , and Colonel onol John Hay , who was assistant pri vate secretary and DUO of Iho hlogruphora of Lincoln , corroborates Nicolay to the extent of tiaviup that Lincoln with hold nil opinion calculated to influence the action ot the Baltimore convention of 1804. Tiioro Is nnothor Incidental contributor to the controversy who had superior opwortunlty to know something of the inside of the situation nt that time , Mr. Charles A. Dana , editor of the Now York i'iw , and his testimony Is In the main favorablp to McCluro. Mr. Dana plainly affirms that the selection of Andrew Johnson was duo to Mr. Lincoln. Just before the mooting of the Baltimore convention General Daniel E. Sickles was sent on a mission to Tennessee , and It has boon as sumed that the object of this waste to pave the way for the nomi nation of Johnson , but General Sick- lor disposes of this by saying hia mission was rather diplomatic than political , and although his reports may have had some bearing on the selection oT.Johnson , ho did not go to Tennessee as an am bassador to arrange the matter. Gon- cral Sickles says ho never hoard Presi dent Lincoln express himself on the subject of the vice-presidency , nnd further , that ho shrank from an avowal of his own candidacy. % This is the evidence that can bo con sidered of any value BO far produced , and obviously it docs not settle the question in controversy. It will doubtless always remain unsottlcd. Ono thing , however , . Is conclusively established , nnd that is that Mr. Lincoln's attitude in the matter was entirely honorable nnd straightforward , that in those momentous days preceding the conven tion of 1801 , when some of the most powerful republican loaders were in open or secret hostility to him , ho bore himself with that perfect unselfishness and that lofty devotion to the country which nro hia highest claim to impor- isliablo glory. THEIIE is a now source of dissatis faction with the Chinese of California. According to a San Francisco paper thov have mastered the art of canning fruit and have gene into the business themselves as employers instead of em ployes. The canners are making an outcry that they will bo ruined by Chinese competition , an ! the Sin Francisco paper tells them it servos them right , that having employed Chinese labor in preference ) to white labor because 'it was cheaper , and only dispensed with it when it bo'jamo more costly and loss efficient than white help , they have no right to complain if the Chinese be come employers when they can no longer bo wage earners. It also says there is 110 help for the matter , as there is no power to prevent the Chinese from doing this business and they will be able to got all the fruit they can pa.y for. The situation , says the San Francisco paper , appears to bo a clear case of greed and lust for gain overreaching itself and now suffering the consequences. The rebuke is doubtless justified , but apnrt from this the complaint of the cannora is entitled to no sympathetic consideration. They are a very poor lot if they cannot suc cessfully moot Chinese competition , or oven overcome it if there is not room in the field for both. CERTAIN members of the board of ed ucation have boon for some two years unreservedly opposed to the ro-oloction of the present superintendent of schools. Presumably they have been for two years seeking a competent successor. Otho'rs have favored a change for a shorter periodbut nro equally convinced it is necessary to the well-being of the schools. Nevertheless the time for electing a man to the position has ar rived and these people are not sure who deserves their support. Some men are politicians everywhere to the extent at least of holding themselves open to conviction up' to the last moment. Some men are never candid enough to tixko a position upou any important pending ing proposition until forced to act. It is absurdity-itsclf for intelligent men to say they uro not sure whom they should support for superintendent after two years of investigation and two years of determination to bring about a change. Sensible people very naturally wonder how much time these gentlemen need to makeup their minds upon a question which should bo settled without further delay.

There is a cheery note In the tldlncs that the western terminus ot the Burlington Is now but four hundred mlloj from Helena nnd being quietly pushed In this direction.

Mr. John Hookwaltor , who owns 00,000 ncros of l.ind In Iowa , proposes the Inauguration of a very Interesting scheme. His Ilfo , until ho was 3.1 years old , was on n farm , and In claims that the principal cause ot discontent among farmor3youngand , old , is Isolation nnd loneliness. Ho suegcsts that farm houses bo built In small villages or settlements , with nmplo grounds , yotnenrono another not more than a third pf n rallo apart at the furthest , with the form lands surround ing or conveniently near. Mr. Bookwnlter having got the idea abroad , has , indeed , started ruch n settlement In Pawnee county , Nebraska. It wilt have a free circulating library , a town hull , a school , of course , and perhaps a church or two. The idea Is wholly practicable , since tmny western farmers now live In villages , where also reiido persons on- gaced In ether employments. Perhaps If farmers In older states would got more closely together for the enjoyment of advan tages made posslblo oy a community ot inter ests , thov nnd thoiv .families would bo more contented and happy. The Fisrht , Httni'r'ii The value of the action In Pennsylvania lies in its political independence. It Is a common saying that wo muse support meas ures , not men. But what does it meant May n prohibitionist wupport a toper if ho should rocolvo the regular nomination i Such npo- thegnu are foolish1 except when they nro reasonably interpreted. Intelligent repub licans in Pennsylvania did not agree that the objects which they sought as republicans re quired them to Vote for Quay's man. They are still of that .opinion. So long as they hold it and are required to prove their repub licanism by supporting Quay , directly or in directly , they wIlKdecIi&o to pivo the proof , and so long , according to the Philadelphia Press , the republican' party will be beaten. Forninst Fusion. C'fjfeaso Ilemtil ( item ) It is now statod.that the democrats of Kan sas will nominate tickets in nil the counties of the state , nnd that this break will prevent fusion on the presidential .ticket next yoar. This is not to bo regretted.

In the meantime lot that party preserve its integrity ana dignity. The Car Stove's Substitute. Cincinnati ( Jnmmcrclat-Qazttte.

St. Louis Uopubllo- That ftllotwl framors' alliance schema to corner the wheat market was simply a bunco game of the Chicago whoa speculators. Boston Qlobo : The farmers' txlllnneo Is now endeavoring to got up n glgnntlo when combination. Now , to bo consistent , they should take that anti-trust plank out of their platform , Chicago Times : The farmers who nro planning to organize n little corner of their own should pause awhile mid reflect that It Is sometimes easier to got Into n comer than to got out again. Globe-Democrat : Even If nil American wheat growers should unlto In thoschomo this year they would bo hurt ultimately , be cause the "combine" would so intend whcnt production nbroad that the outslda world would soon bo independent of the United States altogether In this respect , nnU this would send prices far below their present level. * Chicago Herald : It may reasonably bo doubted whether the formers' organization can succeed In cornering the market for any great length of time any bolter than the pro fessional speculators who have made a study of the whole Held. No doubt they can pro duce nn artificial scarcity for the time being if they can bo Induced to not together In great numbers , but they will probably bo defoitcd In the lone run , as the professionals usually nro. Chicago Tribune : It Is to bo presumed that no rational man will deny the right of the farmer to obtain the highest prices for the grain ho has to sell , or that ho hat the same right to combine with his fellow-farm ers to that end as the members of trades unions in the cities have to strike for higher wages and llx "mlnlmiims. " But they should ho reminded they would do this nt their own risk , nnd could irot blame others if the schema should prove a partial or com plete failure. Chicago News : Needless to say , the possi bility of n vnit "corner" In wheat In the in. terost of the farmers nnd conducted by them - selves Is too chimerical for sober expectation except by visionary enthusiasts. Such "cor ners" are possible on a limited scale only to negregntions of capital such as the farmers could not control. But aside from the im practicability of the scheme it is derogatory to the farmers' organizations to oven attempt it. To create famine prices for food supply in the interest of any ono class , howoror deserving - serving , accords but 111 with the professions of devotion to the common good that form so conspicuous a plank of the farmers' plat form. JCE.tDY FOtt THE IIOUXCEH. Oroeloy Herald : The only chance wo can see for Dr. Test and Llvorlnghouso and the balance of the Hastings iusauo asylum gang , is to try the insanity dodga. Beatrice Democrat : All the charges made against the asylum ofllchils at Hastings have been sustained. The whole outfit should bo given a position in the rear , if not In the pen. Crete Chronicle : It might bo well to In quire of Mrs. Test and Llvcrlnghouso if they have any cholco of soup. Other public ofll- cors would have been glad to resign under much loss grave charges , but Test and Ltvor- inghouso hang on like a member of the reform - form legislature to a portion of the rollef supplies. Nebraska City News : The Investigation into the Hastings asylum shows that the management of that institution is rotten from top to bottom. And it is the general belief that orro or two ether state institutions are In the same condition. A complete over hauling of all the institutions Is what is needed. Fairmont Signal : The Signal has often assorted that the appointment of oQlcon to manage our benevolent institutions should bo excluded from the political domain. Thcso ofilces should bo filled by men who are pe culiarly and well quail tied to 1111 such posi tions. Tno practice has been and now is for every now administration to glvo those places to Its pets who have rendered some kind of service in placing it in power , whether such favorites are qualified in a fitting degree for the positions or not. The Hastings asylum scandal is an Illustra tion of tno results of mismanagement under this vicious system. It Is to ha hoped that for the sake of humanity and common do- coney the next legislature will give the death blow to this inhuman system of making ap pointments. Blue Springs Sentinel : The Hastings asylum Investigation discloses a disgraceful state of affairs and should bo followed by the prompt dismissal nnd condign punishment of the responsible parties. Enough has already boon developed to show that Steward Liveringhouso nnd his coadjutors have not only stolen the state's money , but have bribed Its legislators , brought some of its insnno pensioners to an untimely grave , kept a drmldnc hell end bawdy house , nnd it Is high tlmo to call a halt. If these parties have frlonds In high places who will continue to sustain , thorn in the face of the testimony developed it Is time such friends were given the G. B. The republi can party cannot now afford to tampar with rascals , but should cornn to the front nnd squarely show that the same principles of reform that ilrst cave the party Its proitlgo will govern it , and no political or ether rea sons shouldtbo allowed to Interfere or pre vent the stern rooulco of the guilty. No- braskn wants no such don of Infamy in con nection with Its state Institutions. They Are Coming. llelenil Journal.

The bureau will make anroful Inquiry as to the character , needs and purposes of all ap plying for work , nnd will record only these believed to bo worthy of recognition.

Scott has written a letter concerning the great Inter national fair ot IS- ! ) and makossoma valuable and tiuialy suggestions. Fully endorsing Mr , .Scott's words , I would like to further roaiitnc that now Is the tlmo to gather small grain samples in the straw. It l.s nn easy matter to show throshsdgrain in a measure ; but the parson looking nt it has little conception nf the plant that produced the grain. Nobraik.i wants to pluco on exhibit , at the World .s Fair nt Chicago in 18 ! ) . ! .samples , carloads of her small grain as seen in the Hold when tha self-binder harvests the grain. Now Is the tlmo to prepare for this grand exhibit , and I suggest that every enterprising farmer In this state prepare a bundle of each kind of grain grown by him. Select the bust and carefully pull up by tha roots , taking pains not to break or bond the straw. Maku the bundles or sheaves not loss than four Inches In dlumator whun llnnly tlod. Tlo the sheaf In the middle , close to the heads , und close , not over six Inchon , from thu root. Always tto with a soft string. Hung up by tno roots in a dark loom where no mica , ran or chickens can get nt it. It every farmer in Nebraska will prepare n shonf as above described of eacli kind of grain produced by him und take good care of it , and If the sntno Is carefully collected nnd kept lu good order ono of the crumleut ob ject lessons , showing the productive capacity of Nebraska's rich neil , can bo made at thu world's ' fair ns was never before exhibited. 1 would suggest that some ono bo appointed to tnko charge of the collection nnd preserva tion of these samples of grain ot nil kinds. Great care must bo oxercUod in liar ling these sheaves and some suitably pluco should bo provided where the same cnn bo stored until tlio time conioi to place thu same on exhibition. Tno grain grown nuxt season will not be In tlmo to bo placed on ex hibition nt Chiuago. Now Is thu tlmo , nnd I urge every farmer In Nebraska to prepare a bundle each of rye , wheat , outs , barley , millet , ( Ing. sorghum , corn on otlio stalk , clover and timothy. Some ono will have to tuko charge of thuso collections in onch county. I would suggest that some of thu county ofllcors would bo the proper parson to rocolvo the county contributions , take carooi them and hold them subject to the order ol sotna person or persons authorized to celled them for the btato. I would ask every news paper In the Rtuto to publish thu foregoing , and editorially urge Iho farmer * of thocountj to furnish Huniploj of the great coroali grown In tills Htnto. Let every sample be tnguuiJ with tno name of the producer , county , sec tion , town , and range where grown. L. W. ( jll.C'IHIIST. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
